2018 Camaro 2ss strange smell and won’t start
Hello I just purchased a new 2018 Camaro 2ss ( only had 50 km at purchase ) and from the moment I got it it has had a strange smell that gets stronger as I drive I was wondering if anyone else found this as well
Second issue I had the car not even 24 hours and when I went to start it this morning it would not crank over and had it to have it towed back to dealership Any advice is appreciated Thank you all |

Is it only smelling or also smoking from the engine bay? At at friend there was some wax left over on the engine and that smells and smoked a lot.

Sounds like a catalytic converter. Any codes?

Here is a description of the conditions that may lead to H2S being produced in the converter. https://www.nettinc.com/information/...e-way-catalyst |

Sulphur smell, won't start. Sounds like a clogged/blocked catylitic converter. Whoever traded it in probably was well aware of the issue. |
